Reviewing my posts of late, I see I talk a lot about me. I want to do a little more for others. One of my strongest characteristics is that I like to help, to a fault even. But I only like to help with stuff I am confident about. So! Starting next Friday, I will be presenting posts of helpfulness every Friday. Kick Start Mondays will stay the same and I will keep participating in Sensational Haiku Wednesdays, but Fridays are for you guys! Hey - great title! Fridays 4 U! Here are some of the topics I would talk about:
- power point and picture manipulation
- lazy housewife tips
- continuing my writing a book entries
- book reviews
- guest posts and interviews for blog tours
- and any requests?
Okay, I will get on with the winners of my giveaway...
And finally, time to reveal which Summer Essay was true...
Sheena won "The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer" by Michelle Hodkin

The true story was...
What a Trip!
Dale, Ginger, Nicki (me), and Kat and some random guy with Cigar Store Indians in Myrtle Beach, SC!
I have had so many fun adventures with my buddy "Ginger." And the first story could very well have happened, as the characters are based on my friends and stuff we did, but the events in the story I wrote are totally fictional. Looking forward to finding out the results of the rest of the stories! Thanks again Erin & Melodie for the fun hop!
Have an exciting weekend - make it something to write about! (or just make something up!)

Congratulations to the winners and your true story was wild!
The new Friday lineup sounds good.
So are the lazy housewife tips on how to be a lazy housewife? I get an A+ for that already. :D
Just kidding. Can't wait to hear your tips. My first one is don't have kids. That cuts the amount of housework you have to do by 99% (if you have three kids like me)
I like the new lineup, especially the lazy housewife tips. :)
Congrats to the winners of the giveaway!
Those sound like great topics!
